Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that carbohydrates are a class of macromolecules that are essential for energy storage and structure in living organisms.
Recognize that carbohydrates are composed of monomers called monosaccharides, which are simple sugars.
Identify common monosaccharides such as glucose, fructose, and galactose, which are the building blocks of carbohydrates.
Differentiate between carbohydrates and other macromolecules like proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, which are made up of different monomers: amino acids, nucleotides, and fatty acids, respectively.
Conclude that the monomers that make up carbohydrates are monosaccharides, not nucleotides, amino acids, or fatty acids.
